    you had to ctrl+alt+del and close Firefox. You should be able to restart your comp, and it should reset to the default...

    Go to the profiles folder which is located in The firefox folder then find the biggest bookmarks document that's the oldest, cut it and paste it so it overwrites the newer smaller bookmark document..Done. If you don't understand talk to me over MSN or somerthing i'll show you step by step ;)

    it's at:

    C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

    you need hidden files disabled...

    there a way to switch profiles? it only allows me to stay on one, and every month or so it kicks me and i have to switch to a new one..

    I just gave the damn answer.. go to your profiles folder and delete the profile with the smallest bookmark document.
